Su Qiuge didn’t expect that she would still encounter Pei An’an at school.
The sun was sinister today and as it shone onto the asphalt floor, the ground emanated with heat. Many people walked quickly with their heads down, as if they would melt if they were to be exposed to the sunlight for a moment longer.
When she walked out of the school gate, she heard someone calling her, “Kitty!”
**t/n: in the raws, “kitty” is always in English
She subconsciously turned her head, and saw a little girl wearing a bucket hat and plaid skirt waving at her.
Su Qiuge looked surprised and walked towards her, “Are you here to look for your brother?”
Pei An’an shook her head and said to her, “I recently finished my examination and have already started going to school again these days.”
Su Qiuge approached her and asked, “Then you come here to……”
Pei An’an hesitated for a moment, then said, “Kitty, are you free this Friday?”
Su Qiuge thought about it, “I’m free.”
Pei An’an face appeared somewhat relieved, then she approached her and said, “Kitty, can you do me a favor?”
Su Qiuge lowered her head and her ponytail drooped onto her chest. She asked, “What happened?”
When she heard her ask, Pei An’an said, “This Friday, the teacher is looking for my parents. I think this teacher is very annoying, she probably likes my big brother. She’s always finding excuses to look for him, and when she’s in front of him, she would twirl her hair coquettishly and act flirtatiously. If it weren’t for the fact that she’s my head teacher, my brother would be too lazy to bother with her.”
“But……I also don’t want my mother to worry, can you attend this time?”
Su Qiuge saw her ridicule in a deadpan manner and couldn’t help but smile, “You’re a small child and you already know what it means to twirl hair coquettishly?”
Pei An’an was unhappy, “Kitty, I am very smart. Moreover, I am the same as Big Brother, we are both masters at reading women.”
Su Qiuge was amused by her, “Yes, yes, yes,…..then with what identity will I be going as?”
Pei An’an pondered for a moment and sized up Su Qiuge, “My aunt?”
“……”
Su Qiuge felt a bit like she had nothing left to live for, “Do I look that old?”
Why was Xie Xinglin “big brother,” but she became an aunt?
Pei An’an blinked her eyes, “Kitty, why can’t you tell that I’m joking. You’re so silly, not at all clever.”
Su Qiuge：“……”
Pei An’an beckoned to Su Qiuge, “Kitty, you squat down.”
Su Qiuge was very cooperative and she squatted down. Then, she watched as Pei An’an took the bucket hat off of her own head and put it on Su Qiuge’s, “Kitty, you are so white, you must not get sunburnt.”
Su Qiuge was slightly startled. Pen An’an continued, “I told my teacher that Big Brother wasn’t free, and it just so happens that my big sister will be picking me up from school.”
Su Qiuge seized the opportunity to ask, “Then……why is that annoying teacher looking for your parents? Even if she was acting unreasonably, she still needs to have a reason.”
The expression on Pei An’an’s face became a little ill at ease. She slightly moved her toes, then raised her head. Her round eyes looked at her innocently.
“Kitty, I was in a fight at school.”

Class ended early on Friday evening.
Su Qiuge left the school gate and took a taxi to Pingyang Elementary School.
This was Pei An’an’s school.
She arrived earlier than the appointed time. But before she arrived, Pei An’an had notified her teacher, so after Su Qiuge spoke to the security guard, she was let in.
The primary school children all looked at her curiously. She conveniently asked a little boy that was playing football, “Little Classmate, do you know where Class 3 of Grade 1 is?
The boy immediately pointed out the path for her, “The children in first grade are all on the first floor.” Then, he proudly added in passing, “I am in the third grade, so I’m on the third floor.”
Su Qiuge gave him a lot of face, “Wow! You are so amazing!”
As Su Qiuge walked, she also glanced around the teaching building. In the hallway, there were comic strips drawn by the children from all the different classes. It was the type where four slots were provided to create a story, and there were all sorts of bold and imaginative drawings. Her gaze swept over them quickly, until her line of sight suddenly flit passed a certain one. She stopped in her steps——
Grade 1 Class 3: Pei An’an
When you walked closer, you could smell the crayons used for the drawings.
There were two stickmen on the drawing and the name of the drawing was “An’an and her Big Brother.”
Su Qiuge couldn’t help but smile.
There was even commentary next to the drawing——
Big Brother often went out behind Mommy’s back, Big Brother really isn’t obedient.
But every time Big Brother came back, he would bring candy for An’an to eat, so An’an is helping Big Brother keep his secret.
Big Brother said that as long as he worked a little harder, An’an would be able to skateboard!
Big Brother is too fierce. It would be good if Big Brother smiled a bit more.
When Su Qiuge saw the silly comic strip and the crooked commentary next to her, the smile on her lips suddenly stagnated.
For some reason, she recalled what the little girl had said to her when they first met.
“The doctor said I am ill, can this sticker cure me?”
“After I get better, mommy will let me play with a skateboard.”
